Horses for western Service.

sit is fact that little range mustangs
and cayuses do better in an Indian chase
or thief roundup than the best grain
fed horse conscientiously purchased in the
east under these regulations
''What is the remedy? Do you think
mustangs should be purchased"
mo. Good, grass fed horses can be
purchased, but | understand that move
ment- is on foot to establish government
stud farms for breeding horses for the SER
vice. The idea is not new. The French
government maintains four such farms.
When Macmillan came over to conquer
Mexico he brought a lot of government
bred horses, and many of them were left
behind at the exodus. Down in Durango,
Mexico, the range horses have been i'm
mensely improved by crossing with these
horses brought over by the Frenchmen.
There are. some objections to the proposed
innovation, but it would produce a class of
horses well adapted for the service instead
of the present worthless lot of animals
that United States cavalrymen have to
use. Whether practical or not, this
scheme will be pushed. If it doesn't pan
out, then some way of getting grass fed
CT range horses should be devised. '-Da-

without the slightest extraneou5 aid of

The best and cleanest nests, which fetch
the highest price, are composed entirely OF

seIf Esteem of the Burmese.

The Burmese have an exalted opinion of
themselves. Their religious, historical,
and social traditions, acquired from
earliest childhood and kept prominently
before them by the almost daily Grammatical
performances which are a conspicuous
feature in the national life, serve to con-
vince them of the validity of their claim
tOpurity of descent and the grandeur of
their antecedents. ''DCes not their very
name imply they say, ''that they are
descendants of the holy Brahmas who
came to earth from the blessed REGIONS of
the Rupa, or seventh heaven? Does not
their Great Chronicle of Kings indis-
putably prove that their kings are repre-
sentative scions of the immortal Maha
Thummada, the first emperor of the
niverse?'-National Review

Men who Understand Horses.

1t is astonishing how few men there
are who know anything about a horse.
There is no other animal that the average
man is on such close and familiar rela-
tons with, or that he treats with such
cross ignorance of his peculiarities. That
teanster, now, has probably done little
else than drive a horse in the intervals OF
shovehng coal. He certainly knows how
heavy his load is, and you would think
he ought to know what the horse can do.
But when his team gets stalled the onl y
way he can think of to help the horse Is
to beat him. This is one of the things
that ought to be taught in our public
schools. l would have it made regular
branch Of study, and know the hostler
who could furnish a text book. The
school of the Centaurs on the plains OF
Thessaly was indeed famous In Its day,
but that was a long time ago, and the
drivers of our coal carts are not Apollos.

There appears to be keen rivalry
among the members of the Honolulu

Geo. Stratemeyer, 1st Lieutenant; C. J.

ABOUT GRIEVANCES AND THINGS.

The Herald may be quite correct in
it's idea that the taxpayers should look
to the Legislature for redress of griev-
ances; but when it comes to mending
roads, repairing bridges and other in
ternal works, the Minister of the Interior
and Road Supervisors are the per-
sons to look to first. If they are guilty
of systematic neglect then an organized
protest against it is right and proper.
Now, it was the necessity for any such
protest arising which the ADVERTISER
said would be unfortunate, and
which 1t desired to prevent if possible.
In other words, we hoped that those
having road works in charge might be
induced to do their duty; and thereby
remove all reasonable grounds for an
"organized protest" on the part of the
taxpayers. That is a very different
proposition, however, from the one
which our contemporary attributed to
Us. It's reasonableness We think will
commend it to all rational men.
Touching the broader question of poll
tics which the "Herald'' has raised,
there is little to be said. Wherever
representative institutions exist there
should be a healthy public opinion to
hold CONSTITUTED authority" in check
and prevent the growth of abuses.
Otherwise abuses are certain to accumu-
late until in time they come to claim
recognition by right of usage and gen
eral assent. To say that this country is
free from abuses would be incorrect; but
the Constitution under which they flour
ish is so new that they lack the element
OF antiquity which so often stands for
right with men of conservative thought
Whether affairs are as bad as our con-
temporary paints them is another mat
ter; but if they are, what is it going to
do about it? The constituencies elect
members, who must be assumed to be
fairly representative men. If these rep
resentatives do not suit our contempt
rary, how is it going to replace them by
a different set of men? We must take
things as they are. If there were a
disqualification Act III force the thing
might be accomplished perhaps, but no
such law is on the Statute book and we
see very little chance of one being placed
there.
This being the case, what is to change
the constitution of the Legislature?
How does our contemporary propose to
elect House to conform to it's own
standard? We put these questions for
In ten months we shall
have the elections upon us, and we
would like to know something definite
about the projected scheme of Legisla-
tive reform which, looking over minor
questions of roads and bridges and inter
nal improvements, will purify the politi-
cal atmosphere, redress every grievance
and destroy all abuses from the land

Gen. w. T. Sherman is a breezy talker
when he once gets a-going. When he is
thoroughly interested in a subject and
feels in the mood to talk he can make a
space reporters heart glad in one short
half hour. Soon after the death of Gen
Grant two reporters called upon Gen.
Sherman at the Fifth Avenue hotel in
this city and tried to extract some per-
sOnal "reminiscences from him The hero
of the march through Georgia received
the newspaper men with much cordiality
He insisted on their laying aside their
note books, however. Il loved Gen Grant
dearly, and 1 ana willing to talk about
him." he said, "but l don't want you
boys to print a word that l say [ have
been talking too much for the press re-
Gently, and | have made up my mind to
stop right now' No amount of coaxino
or arguing could induce Gen Sherman to
change his mind on this point, and for
about twenty minutes the two reporters

A Good Hand mt Poker.

"Did you ever hear of Wild Bills ace
full?" asked local manipulation OF the
cardboards. "The story may be old,
but it's true. 1t happened in 1876, at
Sioux City. Wild Bill had a weakness
for poker, and knew no more about it
than n baby. The consequence was
he was picnic for the sports, and they
fleeced him right and left. He was re-
peatedly warned that he was being
robbed, but he always replied that he
was able to take care of himself.
"One night he sat down to play with
fellow named Mcdonald, a ffne-work-
er and expert. Mcdonald did as he
pleased, and the scout found his pile
getting smaller and smaller as the game
progressed. AS he lost he began to
drink, and midnight found him in q
state of intense but repressed excite
ment-a condition that made him one
of the most dangerous men la the West.
1t was at this juneture that Mcdonald,
smart gambler as he was, made his mis-
take. He should have quit However,
Wild Bills apparent GOODNESS deceived
him.
FINALLY, the scout seemed to get al
unusual hand, and began to bet hlgt
and heavy. Mcdonald raised him back
every time, until the top of the table
was about out of sight. At last there
was call.
I've got three jacks, said Melon
aid, throwing down his hand.

Bill.

and a six.
"'here is the other six = suddenly

blandly, arising. Take the pot. ~
